San Diego Breastfeeding Center, LLC

"I went to the Center for a prenatal lactation consultation not really knowing what to expect out of the meeting. My husband and I met with Erin, and she was extremely friendly and gave us so much important information such as preparing for the production of breast milk, typical practices for the first few days of life, positions for feeding, how to know the baby is eating enough. Her follow up communication was super timely and I have all the notes from our session to refer back to. I am planning to go back for a postpartum session. Of course I hope I don’t need TOO much assistance with this once baby is here, but I am confident we’d be in good hands with SDBC. The space is very cozy, and many bonus points for the designated parking - so helpful for waddling pregnant ladies, and new tired parents!"

"I love SDBC! We have been going to SDBC for now all three of our children. Shout out to Vicky G. who worked with us since day 1 and continues to provide superb advice and support. Each one of our children have had unique lactation needs that ranged from severe feeding issues requiring surgical intervention and risk of a feeding tube to a more "normal" breastfeeding journey. Our children's health and happiness, as well as my own sanity through the crazy journey of feeding newborns and infants, was made possible by Vicky and SDBC. After a lot of trial and error, we are so happy to find our home care team and feel like family at SDBC."

"I am so grateful for the support I received from the San Diego Breastfeeding Center. I worked with Lana immediately postpartum, who caught lip and tongue ties in my baby that were overlooked at the hospital. Her guidance, knowledge and kindness allowed me to meet my goal of breastfeeding when I was at the point of giving up due to severe pain. Months later I met with Vicky, who helped me to navigate some challenges that had come up at the 10-month mark, and she proactively helped me plan for the eventual process of weaning from daytime pumping at work. The compassion and knowledge of the consultants at the center are second to none, and I have so much respect and gratitude for the work they are doing."

"Non solicited review because I can’t thank them enough for all the dedication, attention and kindness. Vicky and Robin are true angels. They’re compassionate and very knowledgeable. They do everything they can do help you with your goals and support you and baby’s journey. I saw Vicky a couple times because of shallow painful latch. She helped me in so many ways! In addition to the latch, heavy supply and babys ties, there is some signs of possible gut distress and reflux going on with my baby and Robin has been a great support in that matter. Postpartum alone is hard enough and it’s so important to find the right support group. Don’t hesitate to reach out to these ladies if you need help, I promise it will make it so much better!!"

"This business is a beacon of light in what could otherwise be a very daunting journey on navigating breastfeeding and the post-partum world. I saw Vicky Gellis approximately 10 days after my delivery. I was at maximal levels of anxiety, stress, and pain in the setting of latching issues, engorgement, and inadequate weight gain for my little one. Vicky was empathic, non-judgmental, knowledgeable, and organized — hitting on all of our main concerns, incorporating our preferences and values into our treatment plan, documenting our way forward, and sending very thoughtful, timely check-ins afterward. With her help, we were able to make it through a very arduous time. Our little one is gaining weight like a champ, breastfeeding is significantly more comfortable, and I am confident that Vicky can guide us through any other hurdle we hit down the road."
